CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a 371 National Stage application of International Application No. PCT/EP2018/085262 filed Dec. 17, 2018 which claims priority to EP 17208493.1, filed Dec. 19, 2017, the entire contents of which applications are hereby incorporated by reference.

The invention relates to the technical field of crop protection products, especially that of the herbicides for selective control of weeds and weed grasses in crops of useful plants.

Specifically, this invention relates to substituted thiophenyluracils and salts thereof, to processes for preparation thereof and to the use thereof as herbicides, especially for control of weeds and/or weed grasses in crops of useful plants and/or as plant growth regulators for influencing the growth of crops of useful plants.

Crop protection products known to date for selective control of harmful plants in crops of useful plants or active ingredients for control of unwanted plant growth have some disadvantages on their employment, whether in that they have (a) no or else inadequate herbicidal action against particular harmful plants, (b) too small a spectrum of harmful plants that can be controlled by an active ingredient, (c) too low a selectivity in crops of useful plants and/or (d) a toxicologically unfavorable profile. Furthermore, some active ingredients that can be used as plant growth regulators for some useful plants lead to undesirably reduced harvest yields for other useful plants, or are compatible with the crop plant only within a narrow range of application rates, if at all. Some of the known active ingredients cannot be produced economically on an industrial scale owing to the difficulty of obtaining precursors and reagents, or have only inadequate chemical stabilities. For other active ingredients, the effect depends too significantly on environmental conditions, such as weather and soil conditions.

The herbicidal action of these known compounds, especially at low application rates, and compatibility thereof with crop plants remain in need of improvement.

It is known from various documents that particular substituted N-aryluracils can be used as active herbicidal ingredients (cf. EP408382, EP473551, EP648749, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,943,309, 5,084,084, 5,127,935, WO91/00278, WO95/29168, WO95/30661, WO96/35679, WO97/01541, WO98/25909, WO1801/39597). However, many known aryluracils have a number of gaps in their action, particularly against monocotyledonous weeds. A number of active herbicidal ingredient combinations based on N-aryluracils have likewise become known (cf. DE4437197, EP714602, WO96/07323, WO96/08151, JP11189506). However, the properties of these combinations of active ingredients were also not satisfactory in all aspects.

It is furthermore known that particular N-aryluracils having optionally further-substituted lactic acid groups can also be used as active herbicidal ingredients (cf. JP1800/302764, JP1801/172265, U.S. Pat. No. 6,403,534, EP408382). It is additionally known that N-aryluracils having optionally further-substituted thiolactic acid groups likewise show herbicidal effects (cf. WO2010/038953, KR2011110420).

Substituted thiophenyluracils having optionally further-substituted thioacetic esters, by contrast, are essentially yet to be described. It has now been found that, surprisingly, particular substituted thiophenyluracils or salts thereof are of good suitability as herbicides and can be used particularly advantageously as active ingredients for control of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds in crops of useful plants.

The present invention thus provides substituted thiophenylnracils of the general formula (I) or salts thereof

The compounds of the general formula (I) can form salts by addition of a suitable inorganic or organic acid, for example mineral acids, for example HCl, HBr, H₂SO₄, H₃PO₄ or HNO₃, or organic acids, e.g. carboxylic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, oxalic acid, lactic acid or salicylic acid or sulfonic acids, for example p-toluenesulfonic acid, onto a basic group, for example amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, piperidino, morpholino or pyridino. In such a case, these salts contain the conjugate base of the acid as anion. Suitable substituents in deprotonated form, for example sulfonic acids, particular sulfonamides or carboxylic acids, may form internal salts with groups that are protonatable in turn, such as amino groups. Salts can also be formed by the action of a base on compounds of the general formula (I). Suitable bases are, for example, organic amines such as trialkylamines, morpholine, piperidine and pyridine, and ammonium, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxides, carbonates and hydrogencarbonates, especially sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, and sodium hydrogencarbonate and potassium hydrogencarbonate. These salts are compounds in which the acidic hydrogen is replaced by an agriculturally suitable cation, for example metal salts, especially alkali metal salts or alkaline earth metal salts, especially sodium and potassium salts, or else ammonium salts, salts with organic amines or quaternary ammonium salts, for example with cations of the formula [NR^(a)R^(b)R^(c)R^(d)]⁺ in which R^(a) to R^(d) are each independently an organic radical, especially alkyl, aryl, aralkyl or alkylaryl. Also useful are alkylsulfonium and alkylsulfoxonium salts, such as (C₁-C₄)-trialkylsulfonium and (C₁-C₄)-trialkylsulfoxonium salts.

The radical definitions given in general terms or listed within areas of preference above apply both to the end products of the formula (I) and, correspondingly, to the starting materials or intermediates required in each case for the preparation. These radical definitions can be combined with one another as desired, i.e. including combinations between the given preferred ranges.

Primarily for reasons of higher herbicidal activity, better selectivity and/or better preparability, particular interest attaches to inventive compounds of the specified formula (I) or salts thereof or use thereof according to the invention in which individual radicals have one of the preferred meanings already specified or specified hereinafter, or in particular to those in which one or more of the preferred meanings already specified or specified hereinafter occur in combination.

When the compounds can form, by a hydrogen shift, tautomers having structures that would not be covered by the formula (I) in a formal sense, these tautomers are nevertheless encompassed by the definition of the inventive compounds of the formula (I), unless a particular tautomer is under consideration. For example, many carbonyl compounds may be present either in the keto form or in the enol form, both forms being encompassed by the definition of the compound of the formula (I).

Depending on the nature of the substituents and the manner in which they are attached, the compounds of the general formula (I) may exist as stereoisomers. The possible stereoisomers defined by their specific three-dimensional shape, such as enantiomers, diastereomers and Z and E isomers, are all encompassed by the formula (I). If, for example, one or more alkenyl groups are present, diastereomers (Z and E isomers) may occur. If, for example, one or more asymmetric carbon atoms are present, enantiomers and diastereomers may occur. Stereoisomers can be obtained from the mixtures obtained in the preparation by customary separation methods. Chromatographic separation can be effected either on the analytical scale to determine the enantiomeric excess or diastereomeric excess or on the preparative scale for preparation of test specimens for biological testing. It is likewise possible to selectively prepare stereoisomers by using stereoselective reactions with use of optically active starting materials and/or auxiliaries. The invention thus also relates to all the stereoisomers that are encompassed by the general formula (I) but are not defined with their specific stereomeric form, and to mixtures thereof.

If the compounds are obtained in solid form, purification can also be effected by recrystallization or digestion. If individual compounds (I) are unobtainable satisfactorily by the routes described hereinafter, they can be prepared by derivatization of other compounds (I).

Useful isolation, purification and stereoisomer separation processes for compounds of the formula (I) include methods known in general terms to a person skilled in the art from analogous cases, for example by physical processes such as crystallization, chromatography methods, particularly column chromatography and HPLC (high-pressure liquid chromatography), distillation, optionally under reduced pressure, extraction and other processes; any remaining mixtures can generally be separated by chromatographic separation, for example on solid chiral phases. For preparative amounts or on the industrial scale, useful processes include crystallization, for example of diastereomeric salts that can be obtained from the diastereomer mixtures with optically active acids and, if appropriate, in the presence of acidic groups, with optically active bases.

With regard to the compounds of the invention, the designations used above and further down are elucidated. These are familiar to the person skilled in the art and especially have the meanings elucidated hereinafter:

Unless defined differently, it is generally the case in respect of the designation of chemical groups that the binding to the skeleton or the rest of the molecule is via the last structural element mentioned in the chemical group in question, i.e., for example, via the oxygen atom in the case of (C₂-C₈)-alkenyloxy, and via the respective carbon atom of the alkyl group in the case of heterocyclyl-(C₁-C₈)-alkyl or R¹⁷O(O)C—(C₁-C₈)-alkyl.

When a main structure is substituted “by one or more radicals” from an enumeration of radicals (=group) or a generically defined group of radicals, this in each case includes simultaneous substitution by multiple identical and/or structurally different radicals.

In the case of a partly or fully saturated nitrogen heterocycle, this may be joined to the rest of the molecule either via carbon or via the nitrogen.

Useful substituents for a substituted heterocyclic radical include the substituents mentioned further down, and additionally also oxo and thioxo. The oxo group as substituent on a ring carbon atom in that case means, for example, a carbonyl group in the heterocyclic ring. As a result, lactones and lactams are preferably also encompassed. The oxo group may also occur on the ring heteroatoms that can exist in different oxidation states, for example in the case of N and S, and in that case form, for example, the divalent groups N(O), S(O) (also SO for short) and S(O)₂ (also SO₂ for short) in the heterocyclic ring. In the case of —N(O)— and —S(O)— groups, both enantiomers are encompassed in each case.

Synthesis of Substituted Thiophenyluracils of the General Formula (I)

The inventive substituted thiophenyluracils of the general formula (I) can be prepared proceeding from known processes. The synthesis routes used and examined proceed from commercially available or readily preparable heteroaromatic amines and from appropriately substituted hydroxy esters. The Q, W, R¹, R², R³, R⁴, R⁵, R⁶ and R¹⁴ moieties in the general formula (I), in the schemes below, have the meanings defined above, unless illustrative but nonlimiting definitions are made. The first key intermediate prepared for the synthesis of the inventive compounds of the general formula (I) is an optionally further-substituted mercaptophenyl-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione. By way of example but without limitation, this is shown for the synthesis of 3-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-mercaptophenyl)-1-methyl-6-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione (IIa) (scheme 1). For this purpose, a suitable substituted aniline, 2-fluoro-4-chloroaniline by way of example but without limitation, is converted to the corresponding isocyanate with a suitable reagent (e.g. triphosgene) in a suitable polar aprotic solvent (e.g. dichloromethane) and the isocyanate is converted in the next step by reaction with a suitable aminoacrylic ester, using a suitable base (e.g. sodium hydride or potassium tert-butoxide), in a suitable polar aprotic solvent (e.g. N,N-dimethylformamide), to the corresponding, optionally further-substituted pyrimidine-2,4-dione, by way of example but without limitation 3-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-1-methyl-6-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione (scheme 1). By subsequent sulfochlorination with a suitable reagent (e.g. chlorosulfonic acid), followed by reduction with a suitable reducing agent (e.g. Zn in EtOH and HCl, tin(II) chloride hydrate or triphenylphosphine), it is possible to prepare the desired further-substituted mercaptophenyl-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione, by way of example but without limitation 3-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-mercaptophenyl)-1-methyl-6-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione (IIa) (cf. KR1345394; EP1122244; EP40838; WO 2003/029226; WO2010/038953; US2011/0224083; KR2011/110420).

The synthesis of the key intermediate (IIa) described in scheme 1 can also be applied to the preparation of similar intermediates, e.g., 3-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-mercaptophenyl)-1,5-dimethyl-6-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione (IIb). In scheme 2 below, R¹, by way of example but without limitation, is CHs R K by way of example but without limitation, is methyl, R¹, by way of example but without limitation, is fluorine, R⁴, by way of example but without limitation, is chlorine, and R¹⁴, by way of example but without limitation, is fluorine.

A suitable phthalimide is used here as protecting group for the amino group. In scheme 3 below. R¹, by way of example but without limitation, is NH₂, R², by way of example but without limitation, is hydrogen, R³, by way of example but without limitation, is fluorine, R⁴, by way of example but without limitation, is chlorine, and R¹⁴, by way of example but without limitation, is fluorine.

The intermediate further-substituted 5-mercaptophenyl-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-diones (II) in question can then be converted to the desired inventive compounds of the general formula (I) by two different routes (scheme 4): (i) by reaction with a suitable, optionally further-substituted 2-haloacetic ester (III) using a suitable base (e.g. potassium carbonate, cesium carbonate or sodium carbonate) in a suitable polar aprotic solvent, or (ii) by reaction of the intermediates (II) with a suitable, optionally further-substituted 2-haloacetic acid to give a corresponding thioacetic acid intermediate (IV) using a suitable base (e.g. potassium carbonate, cesium carbonate) and subsequent reaction of the corresponding intermediate (IV) with a suitable, optionally further-substituted hydroxy ester using suitable coupling reagents (e.g. HOBt=1-hydroxybenzotriazole, EDC=1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, HATU=O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate, T3P=2,4,6-tripropyl-1,3,5,2,4,6-trioxatriphosphorinane 2,4,6-trioxide) and suitable bases (e.g. diisopropylethylamine, triethylamine) in a suitable polar aprotic solvent (e.g. dichloromethane, chloroform). In scheme 4 below, R² and R⁶, by way of example but without limitation, are hydrogen, and Q, by way of example but without limitation, represents the moieties Q-2 and Q-42.

2-Fluoro-4-chloroaniline (145 g, 996 mmol) and triethylamine (202 g, 2000 mmol) were successively added cautiously to a solution of triphosgene (119 g, 401 mmol) in abs, dichloromethane (1000 mL), in such a way that the temperature of the resulting reaction mixture remained below 20° C. After the end of the addition, the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and then washed with water (3×500 mL) and 1N hydrochloric acid (500 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The 2-fluoro-4-chlorophenyl isocyanate thus obtained was used in the next step without further purification. Sodium hydride (5.60 g, 140 mmol, 60% dispersion in mineral oil) was suspended in abs. N,N-dimethylformamide, and ethyl (2E)-3-amino-4,4,4-trifluorobut-2-enoate (14.2 g, 77.5 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, then cooled down to a temperature of −30° C., and 2-fluoro-4-chlorophenyl isocyanate (12.0 g, 70.0 mmol) was added. On completion of addition, the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for a further 4 h and then added to ice-water. After the addition of ethyl acetate and acidification with 1N hydrochloric acid, the aqueous phase was extracted thoroughly with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. In this way, 3-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (15.2 g, 50.2 mmol, 65%) was obtained, which was used in the next step without further purification. It was also possible to repeat this reaction step successfully on a larger scale. To a solution of 3-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (238 g, 770 mmol) in abs. N,N-dimethylformamide (800 mL) was added potassium carbonate (117 g, 850 mmol). Thereafter, a solution of methyl iodide (120 g, 850 mmol) in abs. N,N-dimethylformamide (100 mL) was added and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for a further 1 h. On completion of conversion, the reaction mixture was cooled to a temperature of 0° C., water (2000 mL) was added cautiously, and then the mixture was extracted thoroughly with dichloromethane. The combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. In this way, 3-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-1-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (241 g, 747 mmol, 97% of theory) was obtained, which was converted in the next step without further purification. 3-(4-Chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-1-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (100 g, 310 mmol) was then added stepwise to chlorosulfonic acid in a baked-out round-bottom flask. The resulting reaction mixture was then stirred at a temperature of 110° C. for 20 h and, after cooling to room temperature, added to ice-water and extracted repeatedly with ethyl acetate (3×300 mL). The combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. This gave 2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-[3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3,6-dihydropyrimidin-1(2H)-yl]benzenesulfonyl chloride (75.0 g, 178 mmol, 57% of theory), which was used in the next step without further purification.

Analogously to the synthesis of example No. I.12-72, a solution of n-butyllithium hexane was added to a solution, cooled to −10° C., of diisopropylamine in abs, tetrahydrofuran. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at a temperature of −10° C. for 40 minutes and then cooled further to −78° C. Then ethyl butanoate was added cautiously. The reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 1 h, a suitable amount of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoroacetate was added and, finally, the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. On completion of conversion, the mixture was acidified with dil, hydrochloric acid (IM) and repeatedly extracted thoroughly with ethyl acetate. These combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure, and the ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoro-2-ethyl-3-oxobutanoate (67% of theory) obtained in this way, without further purification, was dissolved in toluene in a round-bottom flask and admixed with ammonium acetate and acetic acid. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred under reflux conditions with use of a water separator for several hours until no further water was separated out. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and then the residue was taken up with ethyl acetate and water. The water phase was then extracted thoroughly with ethyl acetate, and the combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. Distillative purification of the residue obtained afforded ethyl (2Z)-3-amino-4,4,4-trifluoro-2-ethylbut-2-enoate (58% of theory). 2-Fluoro-4-chloroaniline and triethylamine were successively added cautiously to a solution of triphosgene in abs, dichloromethane, in such a way that the temperature of the resulting reaction mixture remained below 20° C. After the end of the addition, the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and then washed with water and 1N hydrochloric acid, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The 2-fluoro-4-chlorophenyl isocyanate thus obtained was used in the next step without further purification. Sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil) was suspended in abs. N,N-dimethylformamide, and ethyl (2Z)-3-amino-4,4,4-trifluoro-2-ethylbut-2-enoate was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, then cooled down to a temperature of −30° C., and 2-fluoro-4-chlorophenyl isocyanate was added. On completion of addition, the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for a further 4 h and then added to ice-water. After the addition of ethyl acetate and acidification with 1N hydrochloric acid, the aqueous phase was extracted thoroughly with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. In this way, 3-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-5-ethyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (66%) was obtained, which was used in the next step without further purification. To a solution of 3-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-5-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (i equiv.) in abs. N,N-dimethylformamide was added potassium carbonate (1.2 equiv.). Thereafter, a solution of methyl iodide (1.2 equiv.) in abs. N,N-dimethylformamide was added and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for a further 1 h. On completion of conversion, the reaction mixture was cooled to a temperature of 0° C., water was added cautiously, and then the mixture was extracted thoroughly with dichloromethane. The combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. In this way, 3-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-5-ethyl-1-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (97% of theory) was obtained, which was converted in the next step without further purification. 3-(4-Chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-5-ethyl-1-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione was then added stepwise to chlorosulfonic acid in a baked-out round-bottom flask. The resulting reaction mixture was then stirred at a temperature of 110° C. for 20 h and, after cooling to room temperature, added to ice-water and extracted repeatedly with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. This gave 2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-[5-ethyl-3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3,6-dihydropyrimidin-(2H)-yl]benzenesulfonyl chloride (54% of theory), which was used in the next step without further purification. To an initial charge of 2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-[5-ethyl-3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3,6-dihydropyrimidin-1(2H)-yl]sulfonyl chloride (1 equiv.) in around-bottom flask were successively added hydrochloric acid (2 mL/mmol), acetic acid (2.5 mL/mmol) and tin dichloride dihydrate (3 equiv.). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at a temperature of 100° C. for 10 h, after cooling to room temperature added to ice-water, and extracted thoroughly with dichloromethane. The combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. Final column-chromatography purification afforded 3-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-sulfanylphenyl)-5-ethyl-1-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (84% of theory) in the form of a colorless solid. 2-Chloropropanecarboxylic acid (567 mg, 5.23 mmol) was dissolved in abs, acetonitrile under argon in a baked-out round-bottom flask, and then cesium carbonate (3.41 g, 10.45 mmol) and 3-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-sulfanylphenyl)-5-ethyl-1-methy-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (2.0 g, 5.23 mmol) were added.

The aqueous phase was then acidified with 10% hydrochloric acid and again extracted repeatedly with dichloromethane. The combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was then purified by column chromatography (ethyl acetate/heptane gradient), and 2-({2-chloro-5-[5-ethyl-3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3,6-dihydropyrimidin-1(2H)-yl]-4-fluorophenyl}sulfanyl)propanoic acid (1.30 g, 54% of theory) was obtained in the form of a colorless solid. ¹H-NMR (CDCl₃ δ, ppm) 7.54 (d, 1H), 7.39 (d, 1H), 3.90-3.83 (m, 1H), 3.54 (s, 3H), 2.72-2.69 (m, 2H), 1.55 (d, 3H), 1.13 (t, 3H), 2-({2-Chloro-5-[5-ethyl-3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3,6-dihydropyrimidin-1(2H)-yl]-4-fluorophenyl}sulfanyl)propanoic acid (110 mg, 0.24 mmol), 1-hydroxy-1H-benzotriazole (42 mg, 0.31 mmol) and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (60 ng, 0.31 mmol) were dissolved in abs, dichloromethane in a baked-out round-bottom flask under argon and, after stirring at room temperature for 5 minutes, methyl 3-hydroxypropanoate (33 mg, 0.31 mmol) and triethylamine (0.08 mL, 0.61 mmol) were added.

NMR peak list method—The ¹H NMR data of selected examples are stated in the form of ¹H NMR peak lists. For each signal peak, first the δ value in ppm and then the signal intensity in round brackets are listed. The δ value/signal intensity number pairs for different signal peaks are listed with separation from one another by semicolons.

The peak list for an example therefore takes the following form: δ₁ (intensity₁); δ₂ (intensity₂); . . . ; δ_(i) (intensity_(i)); . . . ; δ_(n) (intensity_(n)). The intensity of sharp signals correlates with the height of the signals in a printed example of an NMR spectrum in cm and shows the true ratios of the signal intensities. In the case of broad signals, several peaks or the middle of the signal and the relative intensity thereof may be shown in comparison to the most intense signal in the spectrum.

For calibration of the chemical shift of ¹H NMR spectra we use tetramethylsilane and/or the chemical shift of the solvent, particularly in the case of spectra that are measured in DMSO. Therefore, the tetramethylsilane peak may, but need not, occur in NMR peak lists.

The lists of the ¹H NMR peaks are similar to the conventional ¹H NMR printouts and thus usually contain all peaks listed in a conventional NMR interpretation.

In addition, like conventional II NMR printouts, they may show solvent signals, signals of stereoisomers of the target compounds which are likewise provided by the invention, and/or peaks of impurities. In the reporting of compound signals in the delta range of solvents and/or water, our lists of ¹H NMR peaks show the standard solvent peaks, for example peaks of DMSO in DMSO-Da and the peak of water, which usually have a high intensity on average. The peaks of stereoisomers of the target compounds and/or peaks of impurities usually have a lower intensity on average than the peaks of the target compounds (for example with a purity of >90%).

Such stereoisomers and/or impurities may be typical of the particular preparation process. Their peaks can thus help in identifying reproduction of our preparation process with reference to “by-product fingerprints”. An expert calculating the peaks of the target compounds by known methods (MestreC, ACD simulation, or using empirically evaluated expected values) can, if required, isolate the peaks of the target compounds, optionally using additional intensity filters. This isolation would be similar to the peak picking in question in conventional ¹H NMR interpretation.

Further details of ¹H NMR peak lists can be found in Research Disclosure Database Number 564025.

The present invention additionally also provides methods of controlling of regulating the growth of plants, preferably of useful plants, characterized in that an effective amount of

-   -   one or more compounds of the formula (I) and/or salts thereof,         as defined above, preferably in a configuration identified as         preferred or particularly preferred, especially of one or more         compounds of the formulae (I.1) to (150) and/or salts thereof,         each as defined above, or     -   a composition of the invention, as defined below, is applied the         plant, the seed of the plant (i.e. plant seeds. e.g. grains,         seeds or vegetative propagation organs such as tubers or parts         of shoots with buds), the soil in or on which the plants grow         (for example the soil of cropland or non-cropland), or the         cultivation area (i.e. the area on which the plants will grow).

It is possible here for the compounds of the invention or the compositions of the invention to be applied, for example, by pre-seeding (possibly even by incorporation into the soil), pre-emergence and/or post-emergence processes. Specific examples of some representatives of the monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weed flora which can be controlled by the compounds of the invention are as follows, though there is no intention to restrict the enumeration to particular species.

In a method of the invention for controlling harmful plants or for regulating the growth of plants, preference is given to using one or more compounds of the formula (I) and/or salts thereof for controlling harmful plants or for regulating growth in crops of useful plants or ornamentals, wherein the useful plants or ornamentals in a preferred configuration are transgenic plants.

The inventive compounds formula (I) and/or salts thereof are suitable for controlling the following genera of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous harmful plants:

Monocotyledonous harmful plants of the genera: Aegilops, Agropyron, Agrostis, Alopecurus, Apera, Avena, Brachiaria, Bromus, Cenchrus, Commelina, Cynodon, Cyperus, Dactyloctenium, Digitaria, Echinochloa, Eleocharis, Eleusine, Eragrostis, Eriochloa, Festuca, Fimbristylis, Heteranthera, Imperata, Ischaemum, Leptochloa, Lolium, Monochoria, Panicum, Paspalum, Phalaris, Phleum, Poa, Rottboellia, Sagittaria, Scirpus, Setaria, Sorghum.

Dicotyledonous harmful plant of the genera: Abutilon, Amaranthus, Ambrosia, Anoda, Anthemis, Aphanes, Artemisia, Atriplex, Bellis, Bidens, Capsella, Carduus, Cassia, Centaurea, Chenopodium, Cirsium, Convolvulus, Datura, Desmodium, Emex, Erysimum, Euphorbia, Galeopsis, Galinsoga, Galium, Hibiscus, Ipomoea, Kochia, Lamium, Lepidium, Lindernia, Matricaria, Mentha, Mercurialis, Mullugo, Myosotis, Papaver, Pharbitis, Plantago, Polygonum, Portulaca, Ranunculus, Raphanus, Rorippa, Rotala, Rumex, Salsola, Senecio, Sesbania, Sida, Sinapis, Solanum, Sonchus, Sphenoclea, Stellaria, Taraxacum, Thlaspi, Trifolium, Urtica, Veronica, Viola, Xanthium.

If the compounds of the invention are applied to the soil surface before the germination of the harmful plants (weed grasses and/or broad-leaved weeds) (pre-emergence process), either the emergence of the weed grass seedlings and/or broad-leaved weed seedlings is prevented completely or the weeds grow until they have reached the cotyledon stage, but then they stop growing and ultimately die completely after three to four weeks.

When the active ingredients are applied post-emergence to the green parts of the plants, growth stops after the treatment, and the harmful plants remain at the growth stage at the time of application, or they die completely after a certain time, such that competition by the weeds, which is harmful to the crop plants, is thus eliminated very early and in a lasting manner.

Although the compounds of the invention have excellent herbicidal activity against monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds, crop plants of economically important crops, for example dicotyledonous crops of the genera Arachis, Beta, Brassica, Cucumis, Cucurbita, Helianthus, Daucus, Glycine, Gossypium, Ipomoea, Lactuca, Linum, Lycopersicon, Miscanthus, Nicotiana, Phaseolus, Pisum, Solanum, Vicia, or monocotyledonous crops of the genera Allium, Ananas, Asparagus, Avena, Hordeum, Oryza, Panicum, Saccharum, Secale, Sorghum, Triticale, Triticum, Zea, will be damaged only insignificantly, if at all, depending on the structure of the particular compound of the invention and its application rate. For these reasons, the present compounds are of very good suitability for selective control of unwanted plant growth in plant crops such as plantations of agriculturally useful plants or ornamentals.

In addition, the compounds of the invention (depending on their particular structure and the application rate deployed) have excellent growth-regulating properties in crop plants. They intervene in the plants' own metabolism with regulatory effect, and can thus be used for controlled influencing of plant constituents and to facilitate harvesting, for example by triggering desiccation and stunted growth. In addition, they are also suitable for general control and inhibition of unwanted vegetative growth without killing the plants. Inhibition of vegetative growth plays a major role for many mono- and dicotyledonous crops since, for example, this can reduce or completely prevent lodging.

Owing to their herbicidal and plant growth regulatory properties, the active ingredients can also be used to control harmful plants in crops of genetically modified plants or plants modified by conventional mutagenesis. In general, transgenic plants are notable for particular advantageous properties, for example for resistances to certain pesticides, in particular certain herbicides, resistances to plant diseases or pathogens of plant diseases, such as certain insects, or microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria or viruses. Other particular characteristics relate, for example, to the harvested material with regard to quantity, quality, storability, composition and specific constituents. For instance, there are known transgenic plants with an elevated starch content or altered starch quality, or with a different fatty acid composition of the harvested material.

With regard to transgenic crops, preference is given to the use of the inventive compounds and/or salts thereof in economically important transgenic crops of useful plants and ornamentals, for example of cereals such as wheat, barley, rye, oats, millet/sorghum, rice and corn, or else crops of sugar beet, cotton, soybean, oilseed rape, potatoes, tomatoes, peas and other vegetables. The compounds of the invention can preferably also be used as herbicides in crops of useful plants that are resistant, or have been made resistant by recombinant means, to the phytotoxic effects of the herbicides.

Owing to their herbicidal and plant growth regulatory properties, the active ingredients can also be used to control harmful plants in crops of genetically modified plants that are known or yet to be developed. In general, transgenic plants are notable for particular advantageous properties, for example for resistances to certain pesticides, in particular certain herbicides, resistances to plant diseases or pathogens of plant diseases, such as certain insects, or microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria or viruses. Other particular characteristics relate, for example, to the harvested material with regard to quantity, quality, storability, composition and specific constituents. For instance, there are known transgenic plants with an elevated starch content or altered starch quality, or with a different fatty acid composition of the harvested material. Further particular properties may be tolerance or resistance to abiotic stress factors, for example heat, cold, drought, salinity and ultraviolet radiation.

Preference is given to the use of the inventive compounds of the formula (I) or salts thereof in economically important transgenic crops of useful plants and ornamentals, for example of cereals such as wheat, barley, rye, oats, triticale, millet/sorghum, rice, cassava and corn, or else crops of sugar beet, cotton, soybean, oilseed rape, potatoes, tomatoes, peas and other vegetables.

The compounds of the formula (I) can preferably be used as herbicides in crops of useful plants that are resistant, or have been made resistant by recombinant means, to the phytotoxic effects of the herbicides.

Conventional ways of producing novel plants which have modified properties compared to existing plants involve, for example, conventional cultivation methods and the generation of mutants. Alternatively, novel plants with altered properties can be generated with the aid of recombinant methods.

Numerous molecular biology techniques by which novel transgenic plants with modified properties can be produced are known to the person skilled in the art. For such recombinant manipulations, nucleic acid molecules which allow mutagenesis or sequence alteration by recombination of DNA sequences can be introduced into plasmids. With the aid of standard methods, it is possible, for example, to undertake base exchanges, remove parts of sequences, or add natural or synthetic sequences. For the connection of the DNA fragments to one another, it is possible to add adapters or linkers to the fragments.

For example, the production of plant cells with a reduced activity of a gene product can be achieved by the expression of at least one corresponding antisense RNA, of a sense RNA for achieving a cosuppression effect, or the expression of at least one appropriately constructed ribozyme which specifically cleaves transcripts of the abovementioned gene product.

To this end, it is firstly possible to use DNA molecules which encompass the entire coding sequence of a gene product including any flanking sequences that may be present, and also DNA molecules which encompass only portions of the coding sequence, in which case it is necessary for these portions to be long enough to have an antisense effect in the cells. It is also possible to use DNA sequences which have a high degree of homology to the coding sequences of a gene product, but are not completely identical.

When expressing nucleic acid molecules in plants, the protein synthesized may be localized in any desired compartment of the plant cell. However, in order to achieve localization in a particular compartment, it is possible, for example, to join the coding region to DNA sequences which assure localization in a particular compartment. Such sequences are known to those skilled in the art (see, for example, Braun et al., EMBO J. 11 (1992), 3219-3227). The nucleic acid molecules can also be expressed in the organelles of the plant cells.

The transgenic plant cells can be regenerated by known techniques to give rise to whole plants. In principle, the transgenic plants may be plants of any desired plant species, i.e. not only monocotyledonous but also dicotyledonous plants.

In this way, transgenic plants having properties altered by overexpression, suppression or inhibition of homologous (=natural) genes or gene sequences or expression of heterologous (=foreign) genes or gene sequences are obtainable.

The inventive compounds (I) can be used with preference in transgenic crops that are resistant to growth regulators, for example dicamba, or to herbicides that inhibit essential plant enzymes, for example acetolactate synthases (ALS), EPSP synthases, glutamine synthases (GS) or hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenases (HPPD), or to herbicides from the group of the sulfonylureas, the glyphosates, glufosinates or benzoylisoxazoles and analogous active ingredients.

When the active ingredients of the invention are used in transgenic crops, not only do the effects toward harmful plants that are observed in other crops occur, but often also effects that are specific to application in the particular transgenic crop, for example an altered or specifically widened spectrum of weeds that can be controlled, altered application rates that can be used for the application, preferably good combinability with the herbicides to which the transgenic crop is resistant, and influencing of growth and yield of the transgenic crop plants.

The invention therefore also provides for the use of the inventive compounds of the formula (I) and/or salts thereof as herbicides for controlling harmful plants in crops of useful plants or ornamentals, if appropriate in transgenic crop plants.

Preference is given to use in cereals, preferably corn, wheat, barley, rye, oats, millet/sorghum, or rice, pre- or post-emergence.

Preference is also given to use in soya, pre- or post-emergence.

The inventive use for control of harmful plants or for regulation of plant growth also includes the case in which the active ingredient of the formula (I) or salt thereof is formed only after deployment on the plant, in the plant or in the soil from a precursor substance (“prodrug”).

The invention also provides for the use of one or more compounds of the formula (I) or salts thereof or of an inventive composition (as defined below) (in a method) for control of harmful plants or for regulating the growth of plants, characterized in that an effective amount of one or more compounds of the formula (I) or salts thereof is applied to the plants (harmful plants, if appropriate together with the crop plants), plant seeds, the soil in or on which the plants grow, or the cultivation area.

The invention also provides a herbicidal and/or plant growth-regulating composition, characterized in that the composition comprises

(a) one or more compounds of the formula (I) and/or salts thereof, as defined above, preferably in a configuration identified as preferred or particularly preferred, especially one or more compounds of the formulae (I.1) to (I.XX) and/or salts thereof, each as defined above, and (b) one or more further substances selected from the groups (i) and/or (ii):

-   (i) one or more further active agrochemical ingredients, preferably     selected from the group consisting of insecticides, acaricides,     nematicides, further herbicides (i.e. those that do not conform to     the above-defined formula (I)), fungicides, safeners, fertilizers     and/or further growth regulators. -   (ii) one or more formulation auxiliaries customary in crop     protection.

The further active agrochemical ingredients of constituent (i) of a composition of the invention are preferably selected from the group of substances specified in “The Pesticide Manual”, 16th edition. The British Crop Protection Council and the Royal Soc. of Chemistry, 2012.

A herbicidal or plant growth-regulating composition of the invention preferably comprises one, two, three or more formulation auxiliaries (ii) that are customary in crop protection, selected from the group consisting of surfactants, emulsifiers, dispersants, film formers, thickeners, inorganic salts, dusting agents, carriers that are solid at 25° C. and 1013 mbar preferably adsorptive granulated inert materials wetting agents, antioxidants, stabilizers, buffer substances, antifoams, water, organic solvents, preferably organic solvents that are miscible with water in any desired ratio at 25° C. and 1013 mbar.

The inventive compounds (I) may be employed in the form of wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, sprayable solutions, dusting products or granules in the customary formulations. The invention therefore also provides herbicidal and plant-growth-regulating compositions comprising compounds of the formula (I) and/or salts thereof.

The compounds of the formula (I) and/or salts thereof can be formulated in various ways, according to the biological and/or physicochemical parameters required. Possible formulations include, for example: wettable powders (WP), water-soluble powders (SP), water-soluble concentrates, emulsifiable concentrates (EC), emulsions (EW), such as oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions, sprayable solutions, suspension concentrates (SC), dispersions based on oil or water, oil-miscible solutions, capsule suspensions (CS), dustable powders (DP), seed dressings, granules for scattering and soil application, granules (GR) in the form of microgranules, spray granules, absorption and adsorption granules, water-dispersible granules (WG), water-soluble granules (SG), ULV formulations, microcapsules and waxes.

These individual formulation types and the formulation auxiliaries such as inert materials, surfactants, solvents and further additives are known to the person skilled in the art, and are described, for example, in: Watkins, “Handbook of Insecticide Dust Diluents and Carriers”, 2nd ed., Darland Books, Caldwell N.J., H.v. Olphen, “Introduction to Clay Colloid Chemistry”; 2nd ed. J. Wiley & Sons. N.Y.; C. Marsden. “Solvents Guide”; 2nd Ed., Interscience, N.Y. 963; McCutcheon's “Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual”, MC Publ. Corp., Ridgewood N.J.; Sisley and Wood, “Encyclopedia of Surface Active Agents”, Chem. Publ. Co. Inc., N.Y. 1964; Schönfeldt, “Grenzflächenaktive Äthylenoxidaddukte” [Interface-Active Ethylene Oxide Products], Wiss. Verlagsgesellschaft, Stuttgart 1976; Winnacker-Küchler, “Chemische Technologie” [Chemical Technology], volume 7, C. Hanser Verlag Munich, 4th ed. 1986.

Wettable powders are preparations that are dispersible uniformly in water and, in addition to the active ingredient, apart from a diluent or inert substance, also comprise ionic and/or nonionic surfactants (wetting agents, dispersants), for example polyethoxylated alkylphenols, polyethoxylated fatty alcohols, polyethoxylated fatty amines, fatty alcohol polyglycol ether sulfates, alkanesulfonates, alkylbenzenesulfonates, sodium lignosulfonate, sodium 2,2′-dinaphthylmethane-6,6′-disulfonate, sodium dibutylnaphthalenesulfonate or else sodium oleoylmethyltaurate. The wettable powders are produced by finely grinding the active herbicidal ingredients, for example in customary apparatuses such as hammer mills, blower mills and air jet mills, and simultaneously or subsequently mixing with the formulation auxiliaries.

Emulsifiable concentrates are produced by dissolving the active ingredient in an organic solvent, for example butanol, cyclohexanone, dimethylformamide, xylene, or else relatively high-boiling aromatics or hydrocarbons or mixtures of the organic solvents, with addition of one or more ionic and/or nonionic surfactants (emulsifiers). Examples of emulsifiers that may be used are: calcium alkylarylsulfonates such as calcium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, or nonionic emulsifiers such as fatty acid polyglycol esters, alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, fatty alcohol polyglycol ethers, propylene oxide-ethylene oxide condensation products, alkyl polyethers, sorbitan esters, for example sorbitan fatty acid esters, or polyoxy ethylene sorbitan esters, for example polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters.

Dustable powders are obtained by grinding the active ingredient with finely divided solid materials, for example talc, natural clays such as kaolin, bentonite and pyrophyllite, or diatomaceous earth.

Suspension concentrates may be water- or oil-based. They may be produced, for example, by wet grinding by means of commercial bead mills and optional addition of surfactants as already listed above, for example, for the other formulation types.

Emulsions, for example oil-in-water emulsions (EW), can be produced, for example, by means of stirrers, colloid mills and/or static mixers using aqueous organic solvents and optionally surfactants as already listed above, for example, for the other formulation types.

Granules can be produced either by spraying the active ingredient onto adsorptive granular inert material or by applying active ingredient concentrates to the surface of carriers, such as sand, kaolinites or granular inert material, by means of stickers, for example polyvinyl alcohol, sodium polyacrylate or else mineral oils. Suitable active ingredients can also be granulated in the manner customary for the production of fertilizer granules—if desired as a mixture with fertilizers.

Water-dispersible granules are produced generally by the customary processes such as spray-drying, fluidized bed granulation, pan granulation, mixing with high-speed mixers and extrusion without solid inert material.

For the production of pan, fluidized-bed, extruder and spray granules, see, for example, processes in “Spray Drying Handbook” 3rd Ed. 1979, G. Goodwin Ltd., London, J. E. Browning, “Agglomeration”, Chemical and Engineering 1967, pages 147 ff.: “Perry's Chemical Engineer's Handbook”, 5th ed, McGraw-Hill, New York 1973, p. 8-57.

For further details regarding the formulation of crop protection compositions, see, for example, G. C. Klingman, “Weed Control as a Science”, John Wiley and Sons, Inc. New York, 1961, pages 81-96 and J. D. Freyer, S. A. Evans, “Weed Control Handbook”, 5th Ed., Blackwell Scientific Publications, Oxford, 1968, pages 101-103.

The agrochemical preparations, preferably herbicidal or plant growth-regulating compositions of the present invention, preferably contain a total amount of 0.1 to 99% by weight, preferably 0.5% to 95% by weight, further preferably 1% to 90% by weight, especially preferably 2% to 80% by weight, of active ingredients of the formula (I) and salts thereof.

In wettable powders, the active ingredient concentration is, for example, about 10% to 90% by weight, the remainder to 100% by weight consisting of customary formulation constituents. In emulsifiable concentrates, the active ingredient concentration may be about 1% to 90% and preferably 5% to 80% by weight. Formulations in dustable form contain 1% to 30% by weight of active ingredient, preferably usually 5% to 20% by weight of active ingredient; sprayable solutions contain about 0.05% to 80% by weight, preferably 2% to 50% by weight of active ingredient. In the case of water-dispersible granules, the active ingredient content depends partially on whether the active compound is in liquid or solid form and on which granulation auxiliaries, fillers, etc., are used. In water-dispersible granules, the content of active ingredient is, for example, between 1% and 95% by weight, preferably between 10% and 80% by weight.

In addition, the active ingredient formulations mentioned optionally comprise the respective customary stickers, wetters, dispersants, emulsifiers, penetrants, preservatives, antifreezes and solvents, fillers, carriers and dyes, defoamers, evaporation inhibitors, and pH and viscosity modifiers. Examples of formulation auxiliaries are described inter alia in “Chemistry and Technology of Agrochemical Formulations”, ed. D. A. Knowles, Kluwer Academic Publishers (1998).

The compounds of the formula (I) or salts thereof may be used as such or in combination in the form of their preparations (formulations) with other pesticide-reactive substances, for example insecticides, acaricides, nematicides, herbicides, fungicides, safeners, fertilizers and/or growth regulators, for example as a ready-made formulation or in the form of tankmixes. The combined formulations may be produced here on the basis of the abovementioned formulations, taking account of the physical properties and stabilities of the active ingredients to be combined.

Combination partners usable for the inventive compounds of the formula (I) in mixed formulations or in a tankmix are, for example, known active ingredients based on inhibition of, for example, acetolactate synthase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, cellulose synthase, enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase, glutamine synthetase, p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase, phytoene desaturase, photosystem I, photosystem II, protoporphyrinogen oxidase, as described, for example, in Weed Research 26 (1986) 441-445 or “The Pesticide Manual”, 16th edition. The British Crop Protection Council and the Royal Soc. of Chemistry, 2012 and the literature cited therein.

Of particular interest is the selective control of harmful plants in crops of useful plants and ornamentals. Although the inventive compounds (I) already have very good to adequate selectivity in many crops, it is possible in principle for phytotoxicities on the crop plants to occur in some crops, and particularly also in the case of mixtures with other herbicides that are less selective. Of particular interest in this regard are combinations of inventive compounds (1) that comprise the compounds (1) or combinations thereof with other herbicides or pesticides and safeners. The safeners, which are used in an antidotically effective content, reduce the phytotoxic side effects of the herbicides/pesticides used, for example in economically important crops such as cereals (wheat, barley, rye, corn, rice, millet/sorghum), sugar beet, sugar cane, oilseed rape, cotton and soya, preferably cereals.

The weight ratios of herbicide (mixture) to safener generally depend on the application rate of herbicide and the efficacy of the respective safener, and may vary within broad limits, for example in the range from 200:1 to 1:200, preferably 100:1 to 1:100, especially 20:1 to 1:20. The safeners may be formulated analogously to the compounds (1) or mixtures thereof with further herbicides/pesticides, and be provided and applied as a ready-made formulation or tankmix with the herbicides.

For application, the herbicide or herbicide-safener formulations in commercial form are diluted if appropriate in a customary manner by means of water, for example in the case of wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, dispersions and water-dispersible granules. Dustable formulations, granules for soil application or scattering, and sprayable solutions are typically not diluted further with further inert substances prior to application.

External conditions such as temperature, humidity etc. affect the application rate of the compounds of the formula (I) and/or salts thereof to a certain degree. The application rate may vary within broad limits. For application as herbicide for control of harmful plants, the total amount of compounds of the formula (I) and salts thereof is preferably in the range from 0.001 to 10.0 kg/ha, preferably in the range from 0.005 to 5 kg/ha, further preferably in the range from 0.01 to I.5 kg/ha, especially preferably in the range from 0.05 to 1 kg/ha. This applies to application both pre- and post-emergence.

When compounds of the formula (I) and/or salts thereof are used as plant growth regulators, for example as stem shortener in the case of crop plants as specified above, preferably in the case of cereal plants such as wheat, barley, rye, triticale, millet/sorghum, rice or corn, the total application rate is preferably in the range from 0.001 to 2 kg/ha, preferably in the range from 0.005 to 1 kg/ha, especially in the range from 10 to 500 g/ha, most preferably in the range from 20 to 250 g/ha. This applies to application both pre- and post-emergence.

Application as a stem shortener can be effected at various stages of the growth of the plants. Preference is given, for example, to application after tillering at the start of linear growth.

An alternative option in the case of use as plant growth regulator is also the treatment of the seed, which includes different seed dressing and coating techniques. The application rate depends on the individual techniques and can be ascertained in preliminary tests.

Combination partners usable for the inventive compounds of the formula (I) in compositions of the invention (for example mixed formulations or in a tankmix) are, for example, known active ingredients based on inhibition of, for example, acetolactate synthase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, cellulose synthase, enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase, glutamine synthetase, p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase, phytoene desaturase, photosystem 1, photosystem II, protoporphyrinogen oxidase, as described, for example, from Weed Research 26 (1986) 441-445 or “The Pesticide Manual”, 16th edition. The British Crop Protection Council and the Royal Soc. of Chemistry, 2012 and literature cited therein. Specified hereinafter by way of example are known herbicides or plant growth regulators that can be combined with the compounds of the invention, with designation of these active ingredients either by their common name in the English-language variant according to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) or by the chemical name or by the code number. These always include all use forms, for example acids, salts, esters and also all isomeric forms such as stereoisomers and optical isomers, even if these are not mentioned explicitly.

Biological Examples

A. Herbicidal Action and Crop Compatibility Post-Emergence

Seeds of mono- and dicotyledonous weed plants and crop plants were laid out in sandy loam soil in plastic or wood-fiber pots, covered with soil and grown under controlled growth conditions in a greenhouse. 2 to 3 weeks after sowing, the trial plants were treated at the one-leaf stage. The compounds of the invention formulated in the form of wettable powders (WP) or as emulsion concentrates (EC) were then sprayed onto the green parts of the plant as an aqueous suspension or emulsion with addition of 0.5% additive at a water application rate equivalent to 600 L/ha. After the trial plants had stood for about 3 weeks in the greenhouse, under optimal growth conditions, the effect of the preparations was scored visually by comparison with untreated controls. For example, 100% efficacy=plants have died, 0% efficacy=like control plants.

Crop plant compatibilities were also scored correspondingly.

Tables A1 to A16 below show the efficacies of selected compounds of the general formula (I) according to tables I.1 to I.50 on various harmful plants and an application rate corresponding to 80 g/ha or lower that were obtained by the aforementioned trial method.

As the results show, inventive compounds of the general formula (I) in the case of post-emergence treatment show good herbicidal efficacy against harmful plants such as, for example, Abutilon theophrasti, Alopecurus myosuroides, Amaranthus retroflexus, Avena fatua, Echinochloa crus-galli, Hordeum murinum, Lolium multiflorum, Lolium rigidum, Matricaria inodora, Pharbitis purpurea, Polygonum convolvulus, Setaria viridis, Stellaria media, Veronica persica and Viola tricolor at an application rate of 0.08 kg of active substance or less per hectare.

The tested crop plants Brassica napus, Glycine max, Oryza sativa, Triticum aestivum and Zea mays are impaired only to a minor degree, if at all, after application of inventive compounds of the general formula (I) at an application rate of 0.005 to 0.08 kg of active substance per hectare.

B. Herbicidal Action and Crop Compatibility Pre-Emergence

Seeds of mono- and dicotyledonous weeds and crop plants were laid out in plastic or organic plant pots and covered with soil. The compounds of the invention formulated in the form of wettable powders (WP) or as emulsion concentrates (EC) were then applied to the surface of the covering soil as an aqueous suspension or emulsion with addition of 0.5% additive at a water application rate equivalent to 600 L/ha. After the treatment, the pots were placed in a greenhouse and kept under good growth conditions for the test plants. After about 3 weeks, the efficacy of the preparations was scored visually as a percentage by comparison with untreated controls. For example, 100% efficacy=plants have died. 0% efficacy=like control plants.

Crop plant compatibilities were also scored correspondingly.

Tables B1 to B17 below show the efficacies of selected compounds of the general formula (I) according to tables I.1 to I.50 on various harmful plants and an application rate corresponding to 320 g/ha or lower that were obtained by the aforementioned trial method.
